I just built my .308 on the Palmetto PA-10 upper and lower. It has so far been a flawless performer.

The two in the post appear to be identical wit the exception of the more expensive one has a rear sight included.

I would not hesitate on a Palmetto product.

And keep in mind, just like it's little brother, if you don't like the way it looks today, you can get parts to change it.

Charles.Contingency is right in that you're not going to find a quality .308 battle rifle for that price range, but if you're willing to add a few hundred more, you can get an M1A and be happy for life.

TAM, I do love my M1A, it is right next to the M1 Garand, which I plan to be buried with. (I think my son-in-law is planning to dig me up for the M1...)

If you are good with your hands, parts are readily available to build one yourself.

I just completed a build recently on a Palmetto State .308 upper/lower and it landed on the $1200 mark not including the scope.

I'll be the first to tell on myself and state that I did not build it the inexpensive route and can see where several hundred could be shaved off that number if you could restrain yourself on the parts that you purchase...

Either way you go, good luck, you will be very happy with your new .308.
